Inspired by a remote dive exploration in Japan where divers had to hike their heavy gear through dry portions of cave to get to the underwater sumps. The explorers also needed the versatility to switch their gear configuration from backmount to sidemount to single tanks (flexibility that a traditional hard backplate does not offer). Designed like a mountaineer’s backpack, the TransPac disperses weight across the hips and back, minimizing shoulder strain. Adjustable straps adapt to a wide variety of exposure suits and means easy donning and doffing. A soft backplate accommodates sidemount diving, yet gives appropriate support for single tanks, double tanks or rebreathers. Slots in the backplate fit standard 36-inch cam straps (included) for single tank diving.

Dive Rite Travel EXP Wing

The Travel EXP is part of our innovative line of 360 degree, donut-style wings that provide greater stability and control in the water. Now made of tough, 1680 ballistic nylon with a new oval shape, the Travel EXP is a lightweight, small-profile wing that is great for travel and warm-water, single tank diving. The donut-style provides an even volume of inflation on top, sides and bottom, which improves buoyancy control and promotes a more efficient, horizontal trim.

At 25lbs/11.3kg* of lift, the Travel EXP can accommodate one 80ft3/12 L tank with additional weight in pockets or a weight belt not to exceed 16lbs. As a part of our modular BCD system, it can be matched with either a TransPac, Transplate or any metal backplate and webbing harness. Available in black with gray side panels. Made in the U.S.A.
